How I Reduced Mobile Test Cycles by 90% Using Device Orchestration

Source: Dev.to

The Solution: Devicely v2.2.20

I built Devicely v2.2.20, a tool designed to slash mobile QA cycles by automating multi‑device testing with orchestration.

Visual Proof

🎥 Demo: MajorFlow.mov – shows the AI Assistant and Locator Overlays in action—no more guesswork, just streamlined execution.

Key Technical Features

• Commander Mode
  One “Leader” device controls multiple “Followers” via WebSockets. Perfect for reproducing bugs across iOS and Android simultaneously.

• Smart Visual Inspector
  Point‑and‑click to find locators instantly. Forget digging through endless XML trees.

• Zero‑Setup AI
  Powered by Groq, you can issue natural language commands like:

  “Open settings” → works across both iOS and Android.

Transparency

While the orchestration engine is proprietary, Devicely leverages:

• ADB
• UIAutomator
• XCUITest (WDA)
• ideviceinstaller

Every command is visible in your local terminal logs for full security visibility.

Quick Start

npm install -g devicely
devicely start
